Registration will begin on Friday from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the SawBriar Club. Workshops and concerts to
be held at the Sawbriar - we would like to thank Ben & Cammie Collier for all their help!

If we get enough orders for Pith1868 Foreign Service helmets (that Ken says everyone needs since it is the hat that looks so great on everyone and is so practical) we will receive a large discount. If you want to order one for pick-up at the First Annual Pilot Mountain Bowed Dulcimer Festival or at Cullowhee, please be sure to indicate it on the registration form or email Gail or John. The cost is $25 (You are welcome to email with questions or an order: gwest1955@aol.com )

From about 8:00-10:00 PM Friday Ken will introduce the bowed dulcimer followed by an open stage/open house
format where anyone who wants to can get up and play and also to have a time when people who live close by can
come by and see the instruments and talk to the participants. We are arranging for some jam rooms at the hotel. (See below) Please feel free to bring “other” instruments to jam (participants and non-participants). Ken says “We'll be doing more in the way of actually playing through songs this time and I will be devoting a lot more time to the subject of jamming and doing some exercises with everyone on how to do it, regardless of your playing level. Those who can, play the tune. Those who can't or don't want to, here are some alternatives. That sort of thing.”

Saturday, 9:00-12:00, workshop. 12:00-1:00, lunch. 1:00-5:00 more workshop. Dinner break. Saturday evening will feature a concert by Ken, Jeff, and Janet. Jamming afterwards back at the hotel.

Sunday, 9:00-12:00, more workshop and done. Ken wants to get in the maximum amount of techniques, practice, theory etc. so that people will come away from this workshop with plenty to work on and hopefully enough encouragement to keep on.

The cost is going to have to be around $75.00 per person to cover the expenses of lunch on Saturday, the building, sound system etc. The price will include all the handouts and maybe even (by then) a book, the concert and participation in the jamming sessions.

Please make your own arrangements for accommodations:
Best Western of Pilot Mountain is the Official Hotel of the Sawbriar Acoustic Stage and they have arranged a special rate: Regular rooms are $59.00 plus tax (this includes continental breakfast) (either two doubles or one king)
Suites which offer a bedroom and a separate living area (which can be used for jamming as well) are $79.00 plus tax (this includes continental breakfast). When folks are booking the rooms they will need to ask for the Sawbriar discount and you need to call the local number 336-368-2237 (800-780-7234 may work). A block of 15 rooms has been reserved for the event.

We have reserved a conference room for jamming also.
